Weeping Willow

Haunted Part One

Chapter Twelve – Haunted Part One

It was around three o'clock in the morning when Willow woke up. It was a dream. She hadn't had a dream like this before. She thought back to it and why it had disturbed her so much.

Dream

Willow gasped. Her eyes flew open and they darted around frantically. Her eyes scanned the area and she saw that she was in some sort of woods. The trees towered above her and they looked as if they went on forever. The ground was covered in dirt, twigs and the occasional bush. It was night time and a light wind blew across her face causing a shiver to run through her body.

She felt something brush against her legs and realised it was the hem of a dress. No wonder she was so cold. The dress was white and the sleeves went to her elbows and it went down passed her knees to just above her ankles. By this she also noticed she wasn't wearing any shoes.

Willow rubbed her arms to create some form of warmth and began to walk forward. She was unsure where she was going let alone where she was, but she continued to stumble across the floor.

As she continued to walk she began to hear talking or arguing. She couldn't make out what they were saying, only that they were men. She got close enough then to hear what they were saying, "You must calm down." One of the men said. By this she noticed that their accents were English.

"No!" The other one growled, "How could she do this to me?"

A sigh was heard as he tried to reason with the other man, "We will figure this out. Let me handle it."

She heard a cracking sound and hid behind a tree. She was close enough to see them now. Though they had their back turned to her, she could still see what they were wearing slightly in the dark; some kind of breaches or trouser things, a poofed shirt she supposed and boots. There wasn't much else she could make out and the other man was completely hidden amongst the shadows of the trees.

Willow then heard someone else approaching; the person came into view and saw that it was a girl. Will couldn't see her very well either. Damn this darkness!

"H-hello." The girl sniffled, "I did not that know anybody else was here." It was obvious that the girl had been crying.

A laugh escaped from one of the men, "Well, then that is rather unfortunate for you."

And then she heard a blood curdling scream from the girl. The sound of someone drinking rang in her ears and she shuddered and hid further behind the tree with wide eyes.

Then the body fell to the floor with a thud and the moonlight acted as perfect light. She gasped and quickly clamped her hand over mouth. The girl's eyes were wide open in cold fear, her mouth slightly agape; a silent scream and her neck were covered in blood.

End of Dream

Willow had jolted awake after that and didn't get back to sleep. That was two hours ago now and she was currently sitting on her window seat with the window open and her arm dangling out with a cigarette between her pointer finger and her middle finger.

It was clear that the men in her dream were vampires, but what were they talking about. A girl had betrayed them? Well, whatever it was they probably deserved it, or at least the one who had killed the girl. It didn't seem like a dream though. It was like she was actually there and observing it.

Groaning, she rested her head against the wall. Thinking about it was giving her head ache. But then thinking about Vicki wasn't helping either. She wondered if she had hurt anyone or worse. Stefan better have found her. While she was thinking this her phone began to buzz, telling her that someone was calling her phone. She got up and looked at her phone on her bed side table to look at the caller ID; it was Elena.
